"It's NOT Going To Happen, Mate!" | Julia Hartley-Brewer Hits Out At Labour MP Over Renewable Energy

The Government will not be “passing the buck” on building renewable energy infrastructure to future generations, a minister has said.

Energy minister Michael Shanks also told MPs that some areas will have to host “nationally significant” power infrastructure such as solar farms in response to concerns expressed about the “detrimental impacts” on communities.

MPs had a general debate on Friday on making Britain a “clean energy superpower”, with the Great British Energy Bill due to receive its second reading after the summer recess.

Julia Hartley-Brewer clashes with Labour MP Mike Tapp after he says the Government's "ambition" is to be fully renewable in solar electricity by 2030.

"Well, my ambition is to be a size 10 supermodel - it's not going to happen mate! Ambitions are lovely, they need to be realistic!"
